Aneet Padda To Lead Maddock’s Shakti Shalini

After her successful debut in the blockbuster Saiyaara, Aneet Padda has bagged her second big project. She will be playing the lead role in Shakti Shalini, a film from Dinesh Vijan’s horror comedy universe under Maddock Films.

Aneet’s performance in Saiyaara directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Aditya Chopra won her praise and made her a honest new face in Bollywood.

Since its release fans have been eager to know her next move. While Ahaan Panday’s next project is still under wraps and Aneet has been finalized for Shakti Shalini after look tests and photoshoots.

The film will begin shooting by the end of 2025. The director is yet to be confirmed, with names like Aditya Sarpotdar (Munjya) and Ajitpal Singh (Tabbar) being considered.

Earlier, Kiara Advani was attached to the film, but she is no longer part of the project.
